In an earlier interview, Avelino said he is open to portraying trans roles.
“I tried to look for something different all the time. If it’s violence that I’ve done before parang ayaw ko na gawin ‘yan, nagawa ko na. So, I look for something special that I could add to the character. ‘Yun naman ang laging reason ko when accepting a role.
“As long as it’s something I haven’t done in the past, as long as it’s something new or something that would challenge me at least.”
Avelino also recalled taking on transwoman personas early in his career.
“Well, I’ve done a few personas for work. A long, long time ago, I did Bebot for Eat Bulaga. Then I think I did hair and make up parang babae for The General’s Daughter, parang there’s a scene parang kailangan.”
For now, fans can see Avelino in his new Kapamilya rom-com series, Marry Me Marry You with Janine Gutierrez, premiering on September 13.
